30055	Drop support for SQLite < 3.8.3	Tim Graham	Tim Graham	"#30054 requires emulating a TRUNCATE CASCADE which requires a recursive retrieval of foreign key constraints. Recursive CTEs are only supported on SQLite 3.8.3+.

Ubuntu Trusty ships with SQLite 3.8.2 and will EOL in April 2019. Debian Jessie ships with 3.8.7+.

SQLite 3.8.2 was released in December 2013. SQLite version support seems like a similar situation as GEOS libraries which we generally support about 5 years after released.
